< Job 1 >

1 Il y avait dans le pays d'Uts, un homme dont le nom était Job; cet homme était intègre, droit, craignant Dieu et se détournant du mal.
A man he was in [the] land of Uz [was] Job name his and he was - the man that blameless and upright and fearing God and turning aside from evil.
2 Et il lui naquit sept fils et trois filles;
And they were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 Et il possédait sept mille brebis, trois mille chameaux, cinq cents paires de bœufs, cinq cents ânesses, et un très grand nombre de serviteurs, et cet homme était le plus grand des enfants de l'Orient.
And it was livestock his seven thousand sheep and three thousand camels and five hundred pair[s] of ox[en] and five hundred female donkeys and service much very and he was the man that great more than all [the] people of [the] east.
4 Et ses fils allaient les uns chez les autres et se donnaient un repas chacun à leur jour, et ils envoyaient convier leurs trois sœurs à manger et à boire avec eux;
And they went sons his and they made a feast [the] house of each one day his and they sent and they invited [the] three (sisters their *Q(k)*) to eat and to drink with them.
5 Et quand le cercle des jours de festin était achevé, Job envoyait chercher ses fils pour les purifier, et se levant de bon matin, il offrait un holocauste pour chacun d'eux; car Job disait: Peut-être mes fils ont-ils péché, et ont-ils renié Dieu dans leurs cœurs. Ainsi faisait Job toujours.
And it was that they had gone round [the] days of the feast and he sent Job and he sanctified them and he rose early in the morning and he offered up burnt offerings [the] number of all of them for he said Job perhaps they have sinned children my and they have blessed God in heart their thus he did Job all the days.
6 Or, il arriva un jour que les fils de Dieu étant venus se présenter devant l'Éternel, Satan vint aussi au milieu d'eux;
And it was the day and they came [the] sons of God to present themselves on Yahweh and he came also the adversary in midst of them.
7 Et l'Éternel dit à Satan: D'où viens-tu? Et Satan répondit à l'Éternel, et dit: De courir çà et là sur la terre et de m'y promener.
And he said Yahweh to the adversary from where? are you coming and he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said from roving about on the earth and from going about on it.
8 Et l'Éternel dit à Satan: As-tu remarqué mon serviteur Job? Il n'y en a pas comme lui sur la terre, intègre, droit, craignant Dieu, et se détournant du mal.
And he said Yahweh to the adversary ¿ have you set heart your on servant my Job for there not [is] like him on the earth a man blameless and upright fearing God and [who] turns aside from evil.
9 Et Satan répondit à l'Éternel, et dit: Est-ce pour rien que Job craint Dieu?
And he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said ¿ in vain has he feared Job God.
10 N'as-tu pas fait comme une haie de tous côtés autour de lui, autour de sa maison, autour de tout ce qui lui appartient? Tu as béni l'œuvre de ses mains, et ses troupeaux se répandent sur la terre.
¿ Not (you *Q(K)*) have you put a hedge behind him and behind house his and behind all that [belongs] to him from round about [the] work of hands his you have blessed and livestock his it has spread out in the land.
11 Mais étends ta main, touche à tout ce qui lui appartient; et tu verras s'il ne te renie pas en face!
And but stretch out please hand your and touch all that [belongs] to him if not on face your he will bless you.
12 Et l'Éternel dit à Satan: Voici, tout ce qui lui appartient est dans ta main; seulement ne porte pas la main sur lui. Et Satan sortit de devant la face de l'Éternel.
And he said Yahweh to the adversary there! all that [belongs] to him [is] in hand your only against him may not you stretch out hand your and he went out the adversary from with [the] presence of Yahweh.
13 Il arriva donc qu'un jour, comme ses fils et ses filles mangeaient et buvaient du vin dans la maison de leur frère aîné, un messager vint vers Job,
And it was the day and sons his and daughters his [were] eating and drinking wine in [the] house of brother their the firstborn.
14 Et lui dit: Les bœufs labouraient, et les ânesses paissaient à côté d'eux;
And a messenger he came to Job and he said the ox[en] they were plowing and the female donkeys [were] grazing on hands their.
15 Et ceux de Shéba se sont jetés dessus, et les ont pris, et ont passé les serviteurs au fil de l'épée; et je me suis échappé, moi seul, pour te l'annoncer.
And it fell Sabean[s] and it took them and the servants they struck to [the] mouth of [the] sword and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
16 Cet homme parlait encore, lorsqu'un autre vint et dit: Le feu de Dieu est tombé du ciel, et il a brûlé les brebis et les serviteurs, et les a consumés; et je me suis échappé, moi seul, pour te l'annoncer.
Still - this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said [the] fire of God it fell from the heavens and it burned the sheep and the servants and it consumed them and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
17 Cet homme parlait encore, lorsqu'un autre vint et dit: Des Caldéens ont fait trois bandes, et ont fondu sur les chameaux et les ont pris; et ils ont passé les serviteurs au fil de l'épée; et je me suis échappé, moi seul, pour te l'annoncer.
Still - this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said [the] Chaldeans they formed - three companies and they made a raid on the camels and they took them and the servants they struck to [the] mouth of [the] sword and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
18 Cet homme parlait encore, lorsqu'un autre vint et dit: Tes fils et tes filles mangeaient et buvaient du vin dans la maison de leur frère aîné;
Until this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said sons your and daughters your [were] eating and drinking wine in [the] house of brother their the firstborn.
19 Et voici, un grand vent est venu de l'autre côté du désert, et a donné contre les quatre coins de la maison, et elle est tombée sur les jeunes gens, et ils sont morts; et je me suis échappé, moi seul, pour te l'annoncer.
And there! a wind great it came - from [the] other side of the wilderness and it touched [the] four [the] corners of the house and it fell on the youths and they died and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
20 Alors Job se leva, et il déchira son manteau, et il rasa sa tête; et il se jeta par terre, et il se prosterna,
And he arose Job and he tore robe his and he shaved head his and he fell [the] earth towards and he bowed down.
21 Et il dit: Nu je suis sorti du ventre de ma mère, et nu j'y retournerai; l'Éternel a donné, l'Éternel a ôté, que le nom de l'Éternel soit béni!
And he said naked (I came out *Q(k)*) from [the] womb of mother my and naked I will return there towards Yahweh he gave and Yahweh he has taken may it be [the] name of Yahweh blessed.
22 En tout cela, Job ne pécha point, et n'attribua rien de mauvais à Dieu.
In all this not he sinned Job and not he ascribe unseemliness to God.
